Internet Addiction Disorder

Unlike chemical addictions that may come to mind more easily, Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) is not caused by a substance. It is part of behavioural addictions, along with gambling disorder, gaming disorder, and more. That doesn’t make it less serious, and it can still dramatically affect someone’s life.

Just like chemical addictions, Internet Addiction Disorder includes the following symptoms:

  • Mood alteration
  • Loss of control
  • Pleasure derived from the addiction
  • Withdrawal: anxiety and/or irritation when the person can’t access the Internet or their devices, cravings
